Ever wonder about the secret lives of brewers? Want to know what's on tap next at Wisconsin breweries? Maybe you like beer discounts. Whatever the reason, check out our summer session of Taproom Live shows beginning 6:30 p.m., July 11 streaming online from Mr. Brews Taphouse.

Shows alternate between Appleton and Bellevue Mr. Brews locations with local brewers as guests.

If you can't make it to Mr. Brews, watch from the comfort of your home via LiveStream on any of the USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin websites or Facebook pages.

I've got plenty of questions, but you can ask Wisconsin brewers about their beer, the brewing life or other craft beer questions during our Q&A session. Email questions to dphiggin@gannett.com or ask during show in person or online.

Topics: Brewers from Oshkosh and Ripon make the drive north to talk about their beer and life brewing in a small-ish town.

Breweries: Stillmank Brewing and Zambaldi Beer

Topics: Just a few years ago Brad Stillmank, founder and head brewer, Stillmank Brewing was in the position of David Malcolm, co-founder Zambaldi Beer: Starting a brewery in the Green Bay market. What's changed in that time and how is Zambaldi meeting those challenges? Also, I think it's time to get rid of beer styles and classify beer in a new way.

But you said beer discounts. What about those? The bonus of hosting Taproom Live on Wednesdays is that Mr. Brews runs happy hour prices all day, so you drink at a discounted rate while we talk beer. Plus, special tappings and extended beer offerings will be available from our guest breweries. You're welcome.
